The toy has a very strong odor. I washed it for a few minutes using liquid soap, and it did little to eliminate the smell. The surface is very smooth, but still a little "clingy;" however a little Astroglide gel was all it needed. It is a soft rubber material, but it is not squishy or limp. I know this toy says to use with condoms if you share the toy, or use both vaginally and anally, but it will only be for vaginal use on myself, so I didn't use a condom with it. I did clean it again with water and liquid antibacterial soap and set it out to air dry.

I can see how this product would attract a lot of lint or fuzz if not stored properly. It is also porous, and might absorb colors if put into a dyed fabric pouch or something of that nature. I purchased the beige color.

This toy could work for anal use, as it is a soft material, and with a lot of lubricant, it would offer a very smooth surface. The website shows that it is O-ring compatible. It is a thicker dildo, with a width of over 1.5", so I don't think it would be good for beginning anal play, but a more experienced user would likely find it very comfortable.

Overall, I'm pleased with this toy. I used a clit vibe with it and that worked well for me, because I usually only have clitoral orgasms. I didn't notice the veined surface much, but it might have been because I was distracted with the vibe. The only improvement I could suggest is the strong odor from the toy. I will not be putting it back in the plastic packaging, so hopefully some of that will dissipate.

I was really hoping that after having been washed repeatedly and dried, as well as stored in the open air overnight, some of the smell would have gone away. It hasn't.

It smells awful.
